AIB is a bank based in Dublin, Ireland. Its account statements are issued as PDFs through online and mobile banking. Upload the statement PDF below and download a Xero-ready CSV (Date, Amount, Payee, Description) — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
This export translates the AIB statement into Xero's import layout, so the manual journals and spreadsheet surgery a raw PDF usually forces are unnecessary — upload, check the preview, reconcile in Xero as usual.
The main use is bookkeepers standardizing client statements into one import shape. Statements from Ireland banks print dates as day/month/year — 03/04/2026 means 3 April 2026 and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals (1,234.56) — the converter's locale-aware reader handles that layout, and then the reconciliation check proves the result: the extracted transactions must add up to the balances printed on the statement itself, or the conversion is flagged.
The check itself is simple arithmetic, applied without exception: add the opening balance to every extracted transaction and compare the result with the closing balance printed on the AIB statement, then walk the running balances row by row. Passing both checks is the only route to a reconciled result; there is no partial pass and no silent correction. What cannot be proven is labelled, never smoothed over.
Two habits make AIB statements easier to work with. First, convert the issued PDF rather than a portal screen print — print views paginate differently and can drop the balance lines the check needs. A reconciliation difference is most often one of those large items — a duplicate, a drop, or a digit misread — and knowing the candidates in advance shortens the search considerably.
In Ireland, bookkeepers commonly work in Xero, Sage and QuickBooks; the Excel and CSV exports from this converter are the files those tools import, and the Xero export is laid out for direct import where the tool accepts it.
Ask clients for the issued PDFs rather than portal screenshots or spreadsheet exports. The PDF is the only version that carries the balances the check needs, and a folder of monthly PDFs plus their conversion results is an audit trail that assembles itself.
Xero computes its own running totals from imported lines, so judge the import by transaction count and period totals against the statement — both are in the converter's result — rather than by expecting a balance column in the file.
These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Tip: if the bank offers both a statement PDF and a transaction-list PDF, take the statement — it is the one carrying the balances the reconciliation check needs.
Download the statement PDF from AIB online banking, upload it to the converter on this page, and download the a Xero-ready CSV (Date, Amount, Payee, Description). The transactions are extracted, put into the same standard columns used for every bank, and checked against the statement's balances first.
Expect day/month/year — 03/04/2026 means 3 April 2026 dates and amounts with a comma for thousands and a point for decimals (1,234.56) on a AIB statement. The reader is locale-aware, so those conventions are handled rather than misread, and the output columns come out in the standard layout regardless.
Where the statement prints opening and closing (or running) balances, the converter adds up the extracted transactions and compares the result with the statement itself. If the numbers do not tie, the conversion is flagged and the mismatched rows are marked — a failed check is never shown as a success.
No. There is no sign-up: upload the PDF, check the reconciliation result, download the file. Uploaded files and exports are deleted automatically within 15 minutes.
The statement PDF. It is the issued document and it carries the opening and closing balances the reconciliation check verifies against; a portal CSV has the transactions but nothing to prove them against.
No. The converter changes layout, not currency: figures stay in € exactly as AIB printed them.
Yes — convert each account's statements separately so each one reconciles against its own balances, then combine the exports in your software if you need a single view.
Scan the statement as flat and straight as you can and upload the scan. OCR reads it, and the reconciliation check verifies the read against the printed balances; rows it cannot verify are flagged for a manual look.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
